In on intcivlow v 1th Manager Cushmnnot
the Mllw aukees , on Tbursdqy last , ho re
marked : "I see the Omaha pipers still have

Kansas City holds that position , while but

Minneapolis. I don't think : wo will bo ac

therefore do not calculate on anything better
than second place , The transfer of games is

cate a rule preventing tnls practice at the
association's ' next anneal meeting. Milwau
kee would bo In the lead today , good and
strong , If Kansas City and Minneapolis had
played all their scheduled games on the
grounds wheio they belonged. "
Cushmnn forgot to say an ) thing nbout the
( time forfeited to Oniulm and which was
played off on Sunday last by consent of the
Omaha management , ho thought more of the
tlOO guarantee this procedure brought them
than they did of the gamo. Also , that no less
than four of the frames scheduled for St. Paul
wore played in Mllvv nukec , and that , too , when
the Apostles \\erolu such u weak condition

Poor Ben Young I His wedding day -was
set for today , and on Tuesday last his dieam
of love came to an abrupt end In death. Ho
s killed in a railroad accident on the
Northern Pacific. Young was no the North-
.vestern League's umpire staff , and was en-
route from one city to another when lib
met his fate. This was to have been his lost
year of base ball , as ho had met , fallen In
eve mid become engaged to a beautiful
oung lady of Sail Jose , California , and she
exacted a promise that this should bo his last
season. Bon Young was well known la
Omaha. Ho wns on the Western association
staff in 1883. Ho wns a genius , and well qual
ified for any business or any profession. Ho
was n college man and had been educated for
the ministry , and only went to umphlng be
cause ho loved the gamo.

"Tho Omaha team has succeeded in one
mighty achievement this season , if they did
fall to win the pennant , " observed President
McCotmlck to a knot of fans last night.
"Whit's that ? " chorused the funs.
"Whybv dint of ) cllovv pin ) Ing , rotten um
piring and innumerable other unfoituitous
ciicuinstances they mamgod not to heat the
Milwaukee * a single gumo during the ontho
series. That's what I cilia record hard to
beat. " And the smile which illumined the big
E resident's phiz was of that soil that makes
arses sick.
"That is pretty near ns good ns win
ning the pennant , isn't it Dickl" inquired
n gentleman with n very icd roso.
"Better much bettor , " was the senten
tious icsponso , "and if they hmln't ' won a
game fiom anv of the opposing teams , it
would have been simply einnd. "
"Yes , but ) oil know , Mr. McCormlck , In
this life of mutations , vicissitudes and 1 1 ibu-
lations , you can't have every thing you want "
"Trnol truol" and with moistened orbs
and mchncholy meln the president strolled off
into the gloaming.

Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory season ,
the wind-up of the r.ico Is prov ing one of the
closest and most exciting in the history of

month or more a blanket would hn\o covcicd

Omaha sixth , Lincoln seventh and St. Paul

Sioux City and Lincoln may displace Denver

any one of the thieo leadois may como under

A Koodoo on the t.raml Stand
"What's the matter with the Omahns ,
anyway ? " Was the solicitous question put
to Manager Leonard n day or so ago.
"Pure unadulterated tough luck , " was the
quick icply. "I tell jou that saltpetre wont
stivoatcam that once starts on the down
grade like the Black Sox did. Disaster and
niisfoituno overtook them early in the fray ,
and while they have had spasms of success ,
and ut times showed as much strength as
any team in the country , hard luck has clung
to them closer than the old man of the sea
clung to the neck of the hapless Sinbad ,
and before the season w as a month old It
was patent that the team was not going /o
prove a winning one. Wo did every
thing possible to avert the Impending
calamity , but all to no avail. Nothing can
save a team under like circumstances. They
got the worst of it in all wajs. Their
pitchers relapse into bad form , they lese
more games by one run than any of the other
teams , tuo umpires nro dead against them ,
the weather treats them shabbily , and they
become aflllctcd with all the evils baseball U
heir to , untllj the end of the season charitably
draws a curtain over thorn. Why , would you
bell eve it , 'Omaha has had uo less than
twenty-six plaj ers on her pa ) roll this season
nnd many of them caino as highly recom
mended ns n manager could ask for , but once
hero and they proceeded to systematically
fall down , and the most piomising men
proved worse than amateurs. Will I manage
Omaha next season } Well , of course it
\voulclbo preinatuie to talk of that now. 1
did my best the present so ison , but as I told
> ou I had a hard luck team to pull with , and
wo opened the season with a big hoodoo
perched upon the top of the grandstand I
llko Omaha nnd her people , and think witli a
good fast team heio ngan , say like that of
lost season , nnd you would have one of the
best base bull teams in the country. "
